One Hour Trail Ride
Beginner and experienced riders are welcome!
Enjoy a stunning view on a trail ride through the Hidden Valley Wildlife Preserve in Norco, CA!
Enjoy a spectacular view of the Santa Ana River and San Bernardino Mountains and over 1500 acres of riverbed, bamboo tunnels, desert landscape, foothills, and quiet nature. Our rides are not traditional nose-to-tail mass groups. With over 25 miles of horse trail, every riding experience is unique.
All of our Norco horseback rides are private or semi-private. All riders are instructed to ensure safe and independent riding. Beginner riders will be delighted at the ease of side-by-side horseback riding, and experienced riders are encouraged to expand their horizons with instruction from our guides.
Wagon rides and Sweetheart packages are available after your ride! Check under Additional Options when you book.
